IF THERE was a world leader Pauline Hanson could have relied on surely it was Donald Trump?

After all, in January she crowed about how she had secured tickets to the US President’s inauguration and gushed that “I can see in Donald Trump a lot of me”.

So the smackdown the Trump administration has just delivered to One Nation, and specifically Pauline Hanson, has got to smart.

It seems her famous “swamped by Muslims” speech has not gone unnoticed in the corridors of power in Washington DC.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson introduced his department’s annual report on global religious freedom.

The report is the first to be released during the Trump administration and covers 2016.

As you might expect, Tillerson reserved his deepest criticism for the terrorists of Islamic State.

He also called out Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Bahrain for persecuting Muslim minorities as well as China which the reports calls out for targeting Falun Gong members, Uighur Muslims and Tibetan Buddhists.

But turn to the page on religious freedom in Australia and there’s one party that gets the most focus — Pauline Hanson’s One Nation.

The 2016 International Religious Freedom Report noted the election of four One Nation senators and that their campaign platform included “ceasing Muslim immigration, holding a royal commission on Islam, halting construction of mosques, installing surveillance cameras in mosques, banning wearing of the burqa and niqab in public places, and prohibiting members of parliament from being sworn in under the Koran.”

The report then contrasted this with comments from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who, it noted, “stated his commitment to an ‘inclusive multicultural society’”.

The report then turned to Ms Hanson in particular.

“In her first senate speech, One Nation Party Leader Pauline Hanson said the country was ‘in danger of being swamped by Muslims.’”

“Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull disagreed with her views and said ‘my commitment is to an inclusive multicultural society which is based on mutual respect. The more we respect each other the more secure we become,’” the report added.

Aside from One Nation, the only other party to be specifically named was the Greens for their proposal to end the reciting of the Lord’s Prayer at the beginning of each session of Parliament.

The language in the report was neutral but pointedly noted that US missions in Australia promoted “religious freedom”.

“US Embassy and consulate general officers at all levels [in Australia], including the Ambassador, engaged with religious communities and promoted religious tolerance in person and through social media.”

The US’s rap across One Nation’s knuckles may be a surprise to Ms Hanson.
